Vaping appeals to many because you have choices. A choice to be free from smoking cigarettes and a choice to personalize your vaping experience. If you arm yourself with the right vaping knowledge, your chances to quit smoking increases dramatically.

Mouth to lung inhale and direct lung hit is a word you will hear often in the vaping community so let’s go through what it means.

WHAT DOES MOUTH TO LUNG MEAN?

Mouth to Lung (MTL / ML)meansinhaling by filling the mouth with vapor before further inhaling into the lung.

WHAT IS DIRECT LUNG INHALE?

Another way to think about it is inhaling straight from your lungs instead of your mouth

Often compared to how you hit a bong or a hookah

WHY THE HELL IT MATTERS!

Different methods results in different experiences. Choosing one method over the other is crucial to understand because it will be affected by several factors:

How you interface with your device

Airflow setting

Coil type

E-juice VG and PG Ratio

Wattage of battery

Explaining someone the significance of how to inhale seems frivolous as showing someone how to breathe. However, understanding the differences between mouth to lung and direct to lung will determine what vaping device you choose as well as what kind of vape juice you will enjoy most.

THE MOUTH TO LUNG EXPERIENCE

MTL devices are recommended to smokers since it mimics the smoking sensation. Before sub-ohm vaping became popular, all vaping devices were MTL to create a smoother transition into vaping.

Here are common characteristics in MTL vaping:

Low Wattage Devices: Less than 20 watts and are not for cloud chasing, meaning it does not have high cloud production

Ultra-portable Devices: Due to smaller battery size, devices are pocket-friendly compared to sub-ohm devices and have fewer features such as variable wattage or temperature control

Tighter Draw: Mouthpiece is narrow and the tighter the draw, the closer it is to a mouth to lung device

High Resistance Coils: Coils are greater than 1.0 ohm. Coils with high resistance will produce less vapor.

High Nicotine Strength: More effective with high nicotine strengths such as nicotine salts (25-50 mg) due to lack of vapor production

Weaker Throat Hit: Less cloud production equals less throat hit. It makes it easier to chain vape.

More Flavor: MTL vape has high flavor intensity since the vapor lingers in your mouth longer.

Note: Throat Hit can be adjusted by using higher nicotine strength, higher PG ratio, increasing wattage/temperature, and using specific flavors such as pure menthol

Sub-ohm coils: Coils are less than 1.0 ohm. Coils with lower resistance increase cloud production. DL devices are not limited to sub-ohm coils and can use higher resistance coils depending on the device.

Intense Throat Hit: Higher wattages create bigger clouds and a warmer vape for a fulfilling throat hit. Throat hit is essential in vaping to replicate the feeling smokers are accustomed to when smoking cigarettes.

Lower Nicotine Strength: High nicotine strength is not necessary due to an increase in power. DL vaping requires only 3 - 6 mg of nicotine. Higher than 12 mg nicotine is not recommended.

Less Flavor: DL vaping results in less flavor since the vapor goes directly to the lung. The more air flowing through your coils, the vapor density decreases which results in less flavor but more voluminous clouds. However, higher flavor intensity can be achieved by tweaking wattages/temperature settings, restricting airflow, and experimenting with different resistances in coils.

DL devices allow for greater flexibility but come with a steep learning curve. Here are some reasons you would get a Direct lung inhale device:

Ideal for cloud chasers and for those who want to play around with the settings to hit the sweet spot for maximum flavor

Devices with an airflow control and variable wattage can allow you to create a MTL experience.

Lower nicotine strength is used because of more significant cloud production. More clouds = greater nicotine consumption

Different types of vaping devices offer different experiences. It’s up to you to decide what works best for you. Understanding the differences between MTL and DL will guide you in picking the right device! Happy vaping and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
